A. Translation from SrImAn SaDagOpan's tamizh treatise:
In pASurams 3 to 8, godai extols kaNNan's bAlakrIdai-s
and prays to kUDal to give her a good omen if kaNNan will
come to take her.
poo-magan pugazh vAnavar pORRudaRku
Am magan aNi vAL nudal dEvaki
mAmagan migu SIr vasudEvar tam
kOmagan varil kUDiDu kUDalE
If kaNNapirAn (who is praised by brahma and nityasUri-s),
who was born to dEvaki, who had a beautiful and bright forehead,
and to vasudEvar, who was an embodiment of all good virtues,
is going to come and get me, show me a good omen, oh kUDal!
B. Some additional thoughts:
SrI PVP points out that He is being praised by deva-s such
as brahmA and the nitya-sUris on the one hand, and by the
ordinary people in bhUlokam on the other. He compares this
to a boatman rowing his boat in the middle of the river,
and being called for help by the people on both banks of the
river. He gives reference to the following from taittirIya
samhitA - "nAvEva yAntamubHayE havantE" (1.6.12.3).
vasudevar tam kO-magan: He is not an ordinary son for
vasudEvar; He was so great that He could assure His father
not to be scared of kamsan hurting Him, and that instead he
should have peace of mind.
"varil" is explained by SrI PVP as referring to the majestic
walk of kaNNan reflecting His lineage from dEvaki and vasudEvar.
SrI PBA comments that the reference to His being born to devaki
and vasudEvar here is to emphasize that bhagavAn takes His
incarnations among men just to relieve the bhu-bhAram; godai
desires that He would come to relieve her bhAram also.
